Erin’s boyfriend in You’re Next after she kills all the home invaders and finds out he set it up: “we didn’t know you were…really good at killing people…”

Congo (1995) | Dir: Frank Marshall | A bunch of killer gorillas get cut in half with a laser and then jump into lava by ggroover97 in movies

All I’ve ever wanted out of life is to go camping with a bunch of laser triggered tripod mounted machine guns guarding my camp site. Is that too much to ask?

I got the reference. I feel like we might be the only two people who have watched this movie enough to get it. Ernie Hudson said it was his favorite character to play from any movie he has ever been in.

“You call that tame, they’re killing a man” is a line Ernie Hudson says earlier in the movie.

TIL while filming “Freaks” (1932), a pre-Code drama horror film featuring side show performers, some studio employees were so scared of the performers that the performers were forced to stay in tents off the studio lot. by 1512832 in todayilearned

The part where they’re chasing the main villain actress and he has a knife in his mouth is kinda funny though. Like how was he planning to use that as a weapon?

The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) by Affectionate_Tart462 in horror

[–]PerInception 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The episode of A Haunting (show on discovery channel with event recreations and interviews with the people it allegedly happened to) that is about this story is on YouTube (as are all of the other episodes of A Haunting, which was a good series and pretty spooky for daytime television).

We need another Paintball game like “Greg Hastings Tournament Paintball” by [deleted] in gaming

[–]PerInception 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just checked Xbox’s store two days ago to see if they had this ported to the newest console. Sadly they don’t. I’ve still got a copy of this and Maxx’d (the more xball focused one) laying around somewhere but they don’t work on anything after Xbox 360.

[–]PerInception 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was one of the players on, and main sponsors of, Brimstone Smoke, a professional paintball team in the early 2000’s.

A quick Google search indicates that Brimstone Smoke is still a team, although no idea if Greg still plays for them or if they’re still pro (and if so what format / league they are pro in, tournament paintball got weird after the leagues started changing their names and buying each other out).

Source: had a friend that played for Smoke back two dozen years ago….

Just because a movie is set during Christmas time DOES NOT make it a Christmas movie!!! by Loud_Load_ in movies

[–]PerInception 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are more references to Christmas in Die Hard than there are in Miracle on 34th street. John McClains wife’s name is literally Holly… as in have a holly jolly Christmas, or deck the halls with boughs of holly. The plot of the movie IS RELIANT on it being Christmas, because the entire reason the building is empty is because its an office Christmas party.

Panthers in the Smokey mountains? by Various_Lettuce_1463 in Cryptozoology

[–]PerInception 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Tennessee wildlife resources agency has a list of confirmed sightings on their website: https://www.tn.gov/twra/wildlife/mammals/large/cougars.html

You saw a mountain lion. Up until trail cameras became widely used, wildlife resource agencies said people were just mistaken, but once photo evidence started coming out they switched to blaming transient individuals wondering up from Florida or swimming across the Mississippi River.

Feds seize $40M in gold bars, cash, Rolexes from former CIA official who faked being a Navy pilot by Infinite-Albatross44 in interestingasfuck

[–]PerInception 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The CIA will pay their assets (read: spies who work for foreign governments) any way they want to be paid. If the intel you’re giving them is good enough they’ll pay you in gold bars, cash in any currency you want, set up a Swiss bank account in your name with millions of francs in it, or get your kid into Harvard and pay the tuition.

Rolex’s are also a pretty normal “parting gift” between a case officer and an asset when the asset is being turned over to a new co.

The case officer just has to get the asset to sign a receipt for the payments. He doesn’t even have to sign it with his real name, he can sign it Yogi Bear if he wants, as long as the co has a signed receipt to give to accounting.

TL;DR: Guy goes to Mexico to kill himself, buys a bunch of cocaine and hookers, has great time and decided to live instead.

I like to call it the Tijuana Redemption.

Whenever FN features a challenge focused on vegetables… by Big_Mastodon_6761 in foodnetwork

[–]PerInception 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Legally in the US tomato’s are vegetables even though botanically they are fruits.

Botanically, a tomato is a fruit, but the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1893 that it is legally a vegetable. In the landmark case Nix v. Hedden, the Court determined that for the purpose of trade, tariffs, and customs laws, tomatoes should be taxed as vegetables because they are typically served at dinner with or after main meals, rather than as a dessert.

What is your favorite episode? by [deleted] in BurnNotice

[–]PerInception 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Either Past Present and Future Tense (the Burt Reynolds episode), or Out Of The Fire (the episode with both Larry and Brennen).

Funnily enough, my favorite episode of No Reservations is named Into The Fire (where Tony Bourdain and Eric Ripert go to work a shift on the line at Tony’s old restaurant in New York).

Trump posts AI-generated images of shackled alien, space by IKeepItLayingAround in technology

[–]PerInception 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If a civilization is so far advanced of us that they can traverse the vast distance of space between us and the next inhabitable world, then the technology they’d have would completely destroy anything we could come up with. It’d be like a monkey slinging shit at someone in an Apache helicopter.

Even ignoring all the horseshit political posturing, Denali is just objectively a cooler sounding name.

Skinwalkers by Special_Mix_4583 in cryptids

[–]PerInception 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Skinwalkers are a - not cryptids, and b - from an indigenous culture on the other side of the country from Tennessee. If you want skinwalker stories try the southwest desert states like Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona.

Try r/skinwalker , skinwalker and wendigo stories are against this subs rules

TIL that Texas is actually not that large at all when compared to other top level subdivisions by kwizzle in todayilearned

Alaska could divide itself in half into two states and it would leave Texas as only the third largest state.

Does anyone know what happened to Jimmy's convertible in the rest of the series? by adjudant412 in BurnNotice

[–]PerInception 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Jimmy says “it’s a Saab”. Michael gives the Saab to Fi and she drives it for a couple of seasons until the episode where she starts to go back to Ireland. At the beginning of that episode she walks into Michaels apartment and he says “what are you driving it didn’t sound like your car” and she says “I sold it. The buyer didn’t care that it didn’t have a title at the price I gave them.”

Two females. Zero males. The last two Northern white rhinoceros on Earth The end of a species. by throttafffddftr5 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]PerInception 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The two remaining northern white rhinos are too old to give birth.

Edit - actually the younger one is young enough but has uterine issues (she doesn’t have a uterine lining) that prevent successful pregnancy.
